one Of Our Most Accomplished Literary Artists, John Crowley Imagines The Novel The Haunted Romantic Poet Lord Byron Never Penned ...but Very Well Might Have. Saved From Destruction, Read, And Annotated By Byron's Own Abandoned Daughter, Ada, The Manuscript Is Rediscovered In Our Time — And Almost Not Recognized. lord Byron's Novel Is The Story Of A Dying Daughter's Attempt To Understand The Famous Father She Longed For — And The Young Woman Who, By Learning The Secret Of Byron's Manuscript And Ada's Devotion, Reconnects With Her Own Father, Driven From Her Life By A Crime As Terrible As Any Of Which Byron Himself Was Accused.
the New York Times - Christopher Benfey crowley's Real Achievement In lord Byron's Novel Is Not A Convincing Imitation Of Byron -- Not Even Byron, Who Was Pudgy And Pale And Walked With A Limp, Could Always Pull That Off. More Persuasive By Far Is The Suffocating World Of Encryption And Code, Coincidence And Conspiracy, Paranoia And Parapsychology That Crowley Summons From His 19th-century Documents And 21st-century Decoders. His Fatherless Daughters And Daughterless Fathers Search For One Another Across This Uncannily Familiar Terrain, Longing For A Unity That Seems Just Beyond Their Grasp. ''happy Endings Are All Alike,'' Ada Byron Slyly Observes In One Of Her Annotations, But ''disasters May Be Unique.''

"John Crowley turns his unique genius in a different direction to imagine the novel the great, haunted, and enigmatic Romantic poet Lord Byron never penned ... but very well might have." "Documents discovered in a rotting old trunk in an English storage room prove that the manuscript of a novel by Byron once existed, and that it was saved from destruction, read, and annotated by Ada, Countess of Lovelace, a brilliant mathematician and Byron's abandoned daughter, during the final, agonizing months of her young life. While the curious mystery of what became of the manuscript itself is explored, we are permitted to read it - the whole of Byron's only novel - beginning to end."
